Sample Codes for the Exercises in the Getting Started Guide
eBox3310A OS design
This is the sample project file for the OS design project in the getting started guide, used to generate the runtime image preloaded in the eBox-3310A-MSJK kit.
\SampleCodes\OSDesign\eBox3310A_OSDesign_Project_Compact7_70B.zip
Note: To use this project, unzip the complete \eBox3310A project folder, including all of the sub-folders to the development workstation's C:\WINCE700\OSDesigns\ directory.
Simple C# Managed Code Application Sample - Visual Studio 2008
This is a simple hello world managed code application in C# created using the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. .
\SampleCodes\Application\VS2008_CSharp_HelloWorld_Compact7.zip
Simple Win32 Native Code Application Sample - Visual Studio 2008
This is a simple Win32 native code application created using the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. .
\SampleCodes\Application\VS2008_Win32_HelloWorld_Compact7.zip
Serial Port Application written in Visual Basic 2008
This is a simple Visual Basic serial port application created in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. This application sends and receives ASCII text messages through a serial port. By launching two instances of this application on the eBox and connecting a Null RS-232 serial cable between eBox's COM1 and COM2, this application can be used to perform serial communication test between the eBox's serial ports.
